Cricket commentator’s feud turns filthy

Cricket commentator’s feud turns filthy

Iconic English cricket commentator Jonathan Agnew has been blasted by BBC chiefs after calling a fellow journalist a "c***" in a Twitter race row.

The Test Match Special commentator took on The Independent's Jonathan Liew for his article on the debate regarding Jofra Archer's imminent inclusion in the England ODI squad, The Sun reports.

The row started when Liew implied Agnew's concerns about Archer's call-up were discriminatory. Archer was born in Barbados and grew up there but has always held an English passport thanks to his dad being born in the UK, and he's now eligible to play for England after living there for three years.

Of Archer's England call-up, the BBC Radio's cricket correspondent said: "A huge call. Morale and camaraderie is a big part in team performance."
